Hi Linda,

I just heard that my old friend "Teddy" had passed away. It was always a pleasure working together with Ted, Deb and yourself. I will always remember his humor, his "never give up" attitude and your hospitality - and the cigars ;-).
I hope you are all right.

Many thoughts from Claus and Lene + daughters Isabella, Sophia and Rosa

SO sorry to hear of your loss of ted, what little I knew of him I dearly loved-some of his humor I will remember all of my life-he touched me and a very unique and good way and I will always remember ted and will miss his calls very very much-many of them werent just for work-he called many times just to cheer me up and was truely concerned about me and some of my difficulties. I am so glad I got to actually see him a few times-a truely great man who gave much more than he received,at least with me. I never knew how much we were alike until I read his obituary.

Dear Linda,

I just got your message about Ted's passing. I can't tell you how sorry Dennis and I are, and that I wasn't here to take your call. Since I don't get the newspaper, I looked this up on line and wanted to at least leave a message for you and your family.

I will try to reach you at the number on my caller I.D. tomorrow late morning. I do want to talk with you. I feel so bad. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know.

I was hoping that the service would be here in Holliston, but I see it's in Maine.

Please know that I think of you often, and hope to talk with you soon.

Love, Terry
